Xbox 1 EVA issue

[QuinnHawkes]

I’m playing on the Xbox one and I can’t get my kerbals off the craft! I have full fuel, electricity,etc but it puts Jeb on the ladder, gives me the option to climb off or let go so I press one or the other and jeb just stays there without the ability to move at all. Then all it will do is let me re-enter the space craft! Could someone help?

Welcome to the forums!

If you use left joystick up/down, you should be able to climb up or down off the ends of the ladder. Alternately, the "let go" button should get you off the ladder.

Once you do that, you need to turn on your RCS jetpack. (You cannot turn on RCS while you are still on the ladder). There are many ways to turn on RCS -- it depends on your preset, of course. It's the same way you turn on RCS for a ship.

After you turn on RCS, you pick your direction by moving the camera around -- which you do with the right joystick.

Then (sometimes) it's easiest to set your orientation next. Radial preset is LB + L3. This will force your kerbal to turn to face the direction the camera is pointing. Note that with some settings, every time you move the kerbal will automatically turn to orient with the camera, so you don't have to do it by hand. Note that a kerbal's helmet is forced to point North (except in Free camera mode) -- so the kerbal will rarely be pointed exactly away from the camera. You need to use two extra buttons to control the up/down thrusters on the jetpack.

Often the next thing you do is to set something nearby as your target. Either use a cursor to double click on it -- or go into map mode, select your target, click on it, and choose "Set Target".

Then start flying around using very gentle thrusts. It takes a couple hours practice to get good at it.

Good luck!
